I am trying to: create a Featured Ad Slider on a page

I visited this URL: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-sliders-with-types-and-views/

I expected to see: Documentation

Instead, I got: 404

Basically, I am trying to include a Featured Ad Slider into an existing page, but when I edit the layout and add a slider, it asks for individual slides. I don't get how to tie the slides to the featured ads.

Also...

(1) It appears that the way the Classifieds reference site is designed, the only way to show a group of Featured Ads is in the slider. Is this true? If so, can you put two sliders on the same page to display different featured adds? Otherwise, the number of featured ads that will show is very small and would prevent people from buying a featured ad. That is, if you sold 300 featured ads, it would take a LONG time to actually see them on the home page.

(2) Why does the Classifieds reference site repeatedly ask for Billing Details - even when you are logged in? Shouldn't this be part of the user's profile and be pulled in the background or something?

(3) Is there a flow chart of something like an "if / then" breakdown of how one makes decisions in Toolset? I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around what you are doing here. A page can contain only one "layout", but a layout may have multiple "cells", and within each cell only one "type" can be selected, but there's also queries which don't seem to be a cell type... yet there are "views" in the cells too? Or are they in the types that are in the cells? And then there's the code blocks in the views too... which are automatically generated by...

Just a bit lost on it. For example, I have no idea how Toolkit interacts with the WordPress user. How complicated does it get (or is it possible) to have more than on type of user - say you wanted one user to pay to have a listing and have a different type of user that pays to see the listings. Is this tied to the WordPress user, or should/would/could you handle all the "access" issues using post types?

Basically, I don't know what I'm doing and I need a schematic of how all the Toolset components are allowed to interact; how it is recommended that they be put together... some practical use case... a comprehensive reference site that has step by step instructions for me to build it from scratch - not load it as a pre-built package.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

If you want to build Sliders with Views or Layouts, you can follow this DOC:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-sliders-with-types-and-views/
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/slider-cell/

The specific URL you sent me, is that from a Tutorial or the Frameworks Site itself?

Can you illustrate me where you found it, so we can update that detail?

Regarding the additional Questions, can you create a single Request for each of those?

We need to focus on one issue each Support Thread so to provide solutions as fast as possible and also allow other users, to find their solutions "on topic"

Please ket me know if you need more information on how to create a Slider with Toolset.

Thank you

No I don't recall where in the sprawling documentation I found the link, but there are many dead links throughout the documentation, so perhaps someone that works there can spend a few days testing the links.
